The extremely thick fur of the chinchilla can disguise weight loss (much as do the feathers on a bird). Palpation of the thorax and ribs will reveal emaciation when present. Most adult chinchillas weigh between 400 â 700 grams.
Humidity: Chinchillas do best in low humidity (40-50%), so the room they are in must be well-ventilated and NOT damp. If the humidity is too low, however, as occurs in some Northern houses in the winter, chinchillas may lose hair and be more prone to respiratory illnesses. Location: Locate the cage in a well-lit area.or a single animal, the cage should be at least 30 tall, 24 wide and 15 deep. A 6 x 6 x 3 foot cage would be ideal. Cages with 'multiple stories,' often referred to as 'condo cages,' allow your chinchilla to move in many directions and are recommended.
